After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Bulls 113-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
